The mock up has changed and they've added what is hopefully a pet slip

It has to be a slip, right? Right?

definitely looks like that's the case

 

[walkintom]

The case itself hasn’t changed so I’m guessing it’s a slip. I’m gonna say cardboard slip instead of PET though.

 

[GeoRattray]

If it isn't a slip, shall we go back to Metropolitan blue border on the steelbook... Nooooo!

 

[Bunk]

Metropolitan steelbooks are usually very clean, they rarely miss in recent years, so I expect those to just be stickers on the shrinkwrap (though admittedly it's weird for a sticker on the front to include the movie's tagline)

Fantastic movie, one of my favorites of 2024 — and that's a good-looking steelbook, looking forward to receiving it!

Definitely, the steelbook was finalized and sent into production before the movie won a Golden Globe and got Oscar noms, so they hurriedly added those on a slip.

FNAC have taken payment for this.

It's a plastic PET slip, with all the credits and award blurbs btw.

 

[sbarker]

Soooo... that PET slip is basically replacing a j card?

Yes, like pretty much all economy PETs do.

 

[K1SK1S]

Full gloss

 

[Bunk]

Wonderful art/finish, and isn't it great when the inside art / disc artwork is complementary and well thought of

 

[samdavies]

Yep, very nice steel (apart from the flipped rear art). Had the kimchi release not been announced, I'd have bought it.

 

[djjez83]

Full gloss

Stunner

 

[Noodles]

This turned out surprisingly nice

 

[Flloydo]

The steel has a nice finish but that’s all for me. Really gone off the flip art and so happy The On came around so I could cancel. PET is pointless and the paper extras rubbish too. The poster cards are ok. Personally glad I skipped

@Flloydo passing on a full gloss steelbook...

Spoiler: ...

Just kidding I'm in for the On too

I preordered this pretty much when it went live and I’ve been seeing people receive their copies and I’ve had no shipping email or anything? I’m in the UK and first time ordering from FNAC so wondering what’s going on…

I don't think I ordered as soon as it went up but it's been sent and supposed to arrive over the weekend. I would always assume the worst with Amazon as they've let so many people down.

Ordered directly from FNAC so not sure why there’s no movement! Double checked order email and all went through okay

No idea. Fnac shipped a copy I ordered on Monday, the following day.
